If he's about to enter the machine but hasn't yet done so then
you're simulating the Helsinki man. The simulation shows that IF the
Helsinki man is rational (and he might not be especially on matters
like this, in fact most people aren't as this list proves) then the
Helsinki man expects that very soon TWO people will remember being
the Helsinki man but neither of them will be in Helsinki. What else
do you want to know, what else is there to predict?

Let's dumb it down and forget about prediction and rationality for
the moment. Let's say instead of making two copies, we're just
dealing with a teleporter that destroys you in Helsinki and
duplicates you in Barcelona. Let's just focus on what your inner
experience is like as you progress through the duplicator.
You enter the duplicator - in Helsinki let's say the duplication
chamber is red, and you notice this. Then the duplication happens
and you open your eyes and the walls are now blue, since the chamber
in Barcelona is of course blue.
Do you have any problem with any of this?
And so, you too cross the event horizon.....
It works better than coffee, to wake up in the morning, and be
reminded of the human condition ...
Cheers,
